As you all know, I love fashion and London Fashion Week couldn't have come at a better time because I was in a huge fashion rut and I needed to switch things up desperately.
Cue my LFW Day 1 outfit.
In the lead up to fashion week I made some mood boards and read up on lots of SS18 print/fabric/fashion trend predictions. A particular print trend that caught my attention was a Cubist, primary colour-esque trend. Think Abstract/Expressionist Art, Mondrian stripes and all things red, yellow and blue.
A trip to Marks and Spencer's and ASOS gifting suites meant I was fully kitted out for this season and boy did I pick up some goodies. My outfit for Day 1 started with this incredible mustardy, goldy velvet pleated skirt. I've styled a pleated skirt in a variety of ways here on my blog (see this post and this post) but I feel like I went wild with this look. I can't wait to wear this with roll necks, fine knit jumpers, thick tights, trainers and tee's...it's definitely got endless possibilities.
Another emerging trend that has already hit the highstreet is the 80's. This extreme sleeve tiger top took me right back to the 80s with it's balloon shoulders and split sleeves. The colour and print are so vibrant and the top was definitely a conversation starter throughout the day I tell ya! I loveeeeeee the clash of this tiger print with the leopard print on my over size clutch bag.
I have a pair of patent red boots which I will show you in a future outfit post BUT these suede red boots (not available online yet but they are in store) caught my eye because of the low heel and the fact I knew they would be comfy as they're from M&S. I was right guys... they were amazingly comfy and I was on my feet all day in them!!

LFW day 1...and, all of LFW SS18 in fact was very chilled. I spent the morning with my fave, Kellie from NYC, caught a few shows and chilled at The Apartment (an amazing influencer hangout space)
My fave show was Globelle by Nelly Rose, a presentation that my friend Kitty Cowell modelled in. I felt super proud watching her strut her stuff.
